Default 1990 Mustang lx hatchback, body kit questions

I just bought a 1990 lx hatchback and i was looking at body kits but i cant find any. So my question to anyone that wants to help is, could i put a gt body kit on my lx? I mean i dont see why you couldnt..same style as mine same years. And if i can then what will i need to make it fit?

Thanks,
Adam

there was a company in the late 80's early 90's that made killer looking subtle body kits that were a cross between the saleen style and factory. i can't remember the name for the life of me but it was something simple like dinan(yeah i know thats a bmw co. but you get the idea) those would be the ones to find.
